Granny’s Whoopie Pies

Granny’s Whoopie Pies are one of my all-time favorites for summer. As a child not only did my granny make these, my mom, and my aunt! These delicious chocolate mini cakes with a sweet buttercream center is off the charts amazing.

I remember playing outside and mom calling us in to help her ice the center and enjoy these scrumptious Whoopie Pie treats! What I like most about them, the cake isn’t over sweet. Combined with the buttercream icing centers, it’s a perfect balance between savory and sweet, giving a sophisticated taste. Of course as a child, I didn’t have that level of thought about my food, I just knew they were delicious.

For today’s bake, I cut the recipe in-half. It worked just as well as the full recipe. The half recipe gave me a dozen nice sized Whoopie Pies. Just enough for us the enjoy for a few days.

One trick, I chilled the dough overnight so it was good and cold before the bake. I also used a cookie sized ice cream scooper that gave each cookie the perfect size.

Be sure to share your bake if you try these amazing Whoopie Pies, you won’t be disappointed in the results.
